100 days of school

So, I've been gone a while! A lot has been happening. I moved across the country, turned 6, and started a new school. I love it there. Its really small, and we do tons of science (which is my favorite). Recently, we celebrated the 100th day of school. So, of course I wanted to craft something! My mom and I once made a bunch of lady bugs, just for fun, I thought making a 100 would be perfect. I started by raiding her scrap bin :).

Then I got 3 different size circle punches.

The largest punch made up the body and the wings. The middle punch was the head, and the smallest made the dots on the wings. So, start by punching a head and a body. Then glue the head to body.


Next, make a punch with the large circle, and punch it with a few small holes. I also cut a small curve on the bottom of some of the wings


Glue the wings on the bodies, add some antennae, and thats it! 


These were super easy to make, but around 80 or so, I started getting kinda lazy. That's why some look better than others :P 

My mom helped me tape them to strings and hang them from a hangar. 


Pretty cool, right? And don't I look almost 100? Only almost because my hair was supposed to look white, but it looked a light dusty gray at best.
